@@Sakana-ing it's awesome. I'm still waiting for the English version of the app to come out but I've pretty much got the app memorized for my use case.
I see! Well here's to hoping they do an English version soon. That was a minor consideration for me as well in picking up the non Bluetooth version. My mandarin is conversational at best.
Thanks for the video, thinking of picking one up to cast ligher lures than my SLX DC 151. What would you say the casting weight range is on that reel is?
@@Matte-s2l I would say 2g and up will be more comfortable for this reel. But I hardly fish below 2g anyway so it works out for me. It will definitely outcast the SLX DC when it comes to light stuff. The overall feel is great and premium too. ☺
@@Matte-s2l while I haven't tested it yet, I'm very sure 10-12g will work well. This reel isn't marketed as a bfs reel anyway. Pretty sure 30-40g is fine too. I'll have to try it out one of these days!
@@rpl4eva29 For a CDM, I'm quite blown away by the retrieve. Much smoother than all the CDMs I have. Definitely not an issue. What I really like are the knobs and how they feel too.
@@Hazynotplayer hi, nothing is really immune to salt. Although copper gears fare better than aluminium gears. This reel has a copper pinion gear and aluminium gear. That being said, I casted in salt from a boat the whole day and there was no corrosion. You need to rinse any reel in warm water after salt sessions. I opened it up to service it a few weeks after my salt session and everything was fine.
Bro, the VFX are AMAZING!
@@mauricezaoui9195 don't lie, all you really want are my awesome shoes.
@@Sakana-ing me? Lying? How dare you?!
Ah these shoes 😑
@@mauricezaoui9195😂😂❤
Nice video. I have the DMK Smart DC BFS reel.
@@NotQuiteAsianOG thanks buddy. How is the Bluetooth one? Are you using the app?
@@Sakana-ing it's awesome. I'm still waiting for the English version of the app to come out but I've pretty much got the app memorized for my use case.
@@NotQuiteAsianOG if I'm not mistaken, the loongze app is in English and you can use it. Give it a go and lemme know if it works. 😊
@@Sakana-ing so I chatted with DMK and they said the Loongze App isn't completely compatible with the Smart DC silver feather.

2 months later how do you feel about the reel? Still using it often?
@@Dbl_OG_13 I'm finding it increasingly hard to put down. I'll do an update soon once the weather gets better here.
@Sakana-ing I've decided to buy one myself. I hear only good things about them. Not one review with a negative opinion on em.
@@Dbl_OG_13 I really can't find a fault with them. I'll do a follow up video soon. 😊

@@Sakana-ing What would you say the upper limit of the reel is, can it cast a 10-12g lure?

That rod looks really interesting. Are they available on Ali express ? Thanks
@@LightTackleLureAngling Sorry for the late reply! As of now I don't see it on Ali. Hopefully it sells well and they decide to put it on there. 🙏
Non bluetooth version?
@@touchwizzx91 Yup this is the non Bluetooth version.
How smooth is the retrieve ? Is it Geary at all?
@@rpl4eva29 For a CDM, I'm quite blown away by the retrieve. Much smoother than all the CDMs I have. Definitely not an issue. What I really like are the knobs and how they feel too.
@@Sakana-ing appreciate the info!
What weight is the lures ya throwing mate.
@@nbrownie5150 I am throwing a 4g Carolina attached to a bkk feathered treble. 🫰
Where did we purchase the rod from
I purchased it on Taobao for about $45SGD.
Thank you
Great review! I have bought it too) Can it cast 2gr at least 15m?
@@MrAntinsk8 yes definitely not an issue. Of course it depends on your line and leader too. I had 0.4 and 150meters and had no issues.
@@Sakana-ing thanks
Immune salt water?

10:27 You tied it with the wrong side)))))))))))))
@@MrAntinsk8 I thought it was supposed to be this way. I will try it the other way next time. Thank you.
Interesting how people have different taste, the rsinbow guide wrapping is a total turn off to me
@@yep.fishing we all got different tastes! But no worries as long as we all love fishing. I enjoy your channel's content btw, keep it going. 😊
@@Sakana-ing thanks :)🙏
